Books For Schools

"As an RE teacher working in an area that is not very multi-cultural, it is reassuring to use teaching materials 'from the faith' when I try to introduce my pupils to Islam. What I liked about these materials was that they were also mindful of British culture and educational requirements.
I particularly liked the card game in the "Introducing the Qur'an" pack, as this sort of material is difficult to find or make."
M. Fenton, RE Co-ordinator
